{my birthday}

Today I turn 25.

I'm not sure how to feel about it.

25 seems so old! I feel like by now I should know more 'adult' things like how to do my own taxes or changing my own oil. But I feel like I am still very young and I am. But when I look at some of these 19 year olds, I definitely feel like the old, saving for retirement, lady that I have become. And I'm very much okay with that. I'm okay that I no longer have the courage to wear outrageous outfits anymore, that going out to the bars seems more tiring then fun & that now money has become a way of giving my family a better future then buying a fabulous pair of shoes.

I am so very content with my little 'old' happy life with my hubby & baby bump & am fully embracing the fact that, yes, I am getting older. I will never be 19 again & I'm glad.

And although I almost passed out at Walmart while Christmas shopping today (oh the joys of ever changing, pregnancy hormones), it has been a great day filled with lots of love & attention from the hubby & ice cream cake! =)

{wishing}

I would not mind seeing some of these Tom Ford sunglasses under my tree this Christmas.





{day 9}

Yes, I have missed a few days due in part to my crazy computer/internet issues & being snowed in at my moms without a single crafting supply in sight.

But now, we've been shoveled out, back at home & my computer problems are fixed & I can back to crafting!

So my first craft back is one that I whipped up last season & fell in love with & needed to share it this year. These cute crocheted wreaths are so simple, you can whip up enough to fill up your tree in just a few hours!

Start off by making an adjustable chain with 10 sc in it.
Then finish off the next row by putting 2 dc into each sc across.
Add a ribbon & a hook & you're done!

So easy!

{if only}

If only I had an unlimited budget to decorate for Christmas the way Martha Stewart does!



If only I could spend the holidays with her!

{day 8}

For some reason, my computer has decided it doesn't want to open my pictures from my camera so I guess there is no craft today...

But I still wanted to share with you these lovely gift wrappings from Martha Stewart.

Who wouldn't want to open a gift wrapped with one of these?!

I am so super excited about these new Santabot tees!

I'm so excited to have added them to my site!

{day 7}

Who doesn't enjoy a good plushie?! I know I love them...that's why I whipped up this present plushie this morning. They are so fun to make & you can do so much with them!

They make great ornaments or stocking stuffers or present toppers.


What would you do with this present??
